Package: libgnutls26
Version: 2.2.3-1
Severity: important

I regenerated my SSL certificates today (due to the security advisory)
and mutt now refuses to connect to my SMTP server with STARTTLS.  This
is obviously unsuitable.

Using cyrus-clients-2.3's smtptest (which uses OpenSSL) does not object
to the certificate.  You can find the old certificate, which worked
fine, at
http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/cgi-bin/pyca/view-cert.py/ServerCerts/server?18
.  I generated them exactly the same way, and they appear to have
exactly the same extensions.  The MTA is sendmail, which uses OpenSSL.

Feel free to test against my machine if you want.
